Cream Ridge Under New Ownership

thestarter — Mon, 14 May 2012 14:20:34 +0000

Cream Ridge Golf Course upgraded: A new management company that has taken over the Cream Ridge Golf Course on Route 539 this spring is making “significant upgrades” to the public course. The state Department of Environmental Protection selected Bob and Linda Kraft of Meticulous Landscaping in Waretown to operate the 18-hole course in a contested bidding process that began in the summer. The Krafts held a grand opening celebration with 130 golfers this weekend… The state purchased the Route 539 property for $14 million from the Miscoski family in 2006. Under a lease agreement, the Miscoskis continued to operate the 143-acre golf course, which they opened in 1958, for the past six years. The remaining 43 acres, which was given to the township for future recreational purposes, continues to be leased for farming with no immediate plans for development.

Swing Fore A Cure Golf Outing for Cystic Fibrosis

thestarter — Thu, 08 Mar 2012 18:24:47 +0000

The first annual “Swing Fore A Cure” golf outing to benefit research for a cure of Cystic Fibrosis is proud to be a part of the weeklong A Night To Remember event commemorating the voyage of the RMS Titanic. The golf outing is being held on Friday, April 13th at the spectacular Trump National Golf Course in Colts Neck (http://www.trumpcoltsneck.com/) with check-in starting at 10:30am. Golfers will have plenty of time to warm up on the range, practice their putting, and to enjoy a relaxed B-B-Q lunch in the Trump National clubhouse prior to the 1pm Shotgun start. Named New Jersey’s best new private course in 2004, the Tom Fazio II redesigned course provides each scramble team with 19, yes nineteen, challenging holes and breathtaking beauty. Each team will have their own fore-caddie assigned to chase down errant shots and to provide local knowledge of all the greens. At least two par three’s will feature luxury cars as Hole-in-One prizes and everyone will participate in the Longest Drive and Closest to the Pin contests too. Team prizes will be awarded.

An open bar and hot hors d’oeuvres await the teams after a long day on the links followed with a gourmet buffet dinner with a varied selection of entrees. Dinner-only tickets are available for $150. Door prizes for the golfers, gift baskets, a fifty-fifty, and even a live auction will be available throughout the evening as the post-golf dinner morphs into a weekend kickoff Titanic Boarding Party, open to the public, scheduled from 8pm until 10pm.

More information on the outing is available at http://www.centennialcelebrationsllc.net/golf and interested golfers can email golf@centennialcelebrationsllc.net to get involved.

Warm winter weather keeping NJ golf courses open

Mild winter temperatures prove helpful to N.J. golf courses still struggling from wet summer | NJ.com: …

the warm weather couldn’t have come at a more opportune time as many public courses that usually sleep through January under a blanket of snow are still open. That’s a blessing after having struggled through a wet and wild 2010. From early spring floods, to Irene’s late-summer landfall, to the freak October snowstorm, golf courses lost prime playing time throughout the year…

Climate figures confirm that last year was indeed the worst — at least since Walter Hagen swung a club. The state broke a record for precipitation, said state climatologist David Robinson.

All for only $125 per player!

Breast Wishes is a team of walkers from Lincoln Park who participate in the Avon Walk in NYC, the proceeds from which go towards breast cancer research and treatment.
